Katie and Evan had a small, intimate wedding for friends and family on a bluff overlooking Paradise Cove in Malibu, California. They are Los Angeles area natives but now live in Chicago so this was a great location to celebrate their marriage. Friends and family stayed at the Malibu Country Inn  and that’s where the bride and groom got ready as well. If you’d like to see the whole gallery and you know Katie’s maiden name, click here to view all of their wedding photos.

The girls get ready before the wedding at Malibu Country Inn. Katie’s reading my notes
about wedding day planning. I told her it was too late for that!

Boutonnieres is a difficult word to spell correctly.

I asked the Coast Guard to do a fly-by.

Smoochie!

Evan was really thinking about it …

The future’s so bright, they gotta wear …

There are some other photos from under the pier but this is a PG blog.

Wedding details are always nice.

My camera’s lens hood malfunctioned when I took this photo–but I kind of
liked the effect. Besides, I’m sure the bride’s mother got the shot anyway!

Now where is the bride’s left hand?

Uncle "Bob" with his camera …

I never tilt photos because I hate tilted photos. But this one time I’m going to post one on my blog. It was
the only way I could have the bride’s mom, the groom’s grandmother, and the ring bearer in a single frame.

 

Daddy’s little girl.

The setting was pretty spectacular. I’m really surprised that more brides don’t know about this awesome wedding venue!

Oh yeah!

I can’t remember the last time I saw a groom bustle a dress.

I love this photo mostly because of the Fonz (who was standing to my left).

 

For some reason, they liked to kiss an awful lot. But who am I to judge?

Unlike Jennifer Anniston in Office Space, I love good flair! [sic]

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Katy & Tony’s wedding at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles. The day started with Katy and Tony getting ready at the Los Angeles Downtown Marriott Hotel. Then we all went over to Union Station for some pre-ceremony wedding photography. After that, it was off to the Cathedral for the wedding and then back to Olvera Street and a short walk to Union Station for the reception. If you’d like to see all of the photos from the wedding (and you know Katy’s maiden name), click here to view the whole gallery.

Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles — a wedding photographer’s delight!

Mr. Pink, Mr. Blue, Mr. Brown, Mr. Green, Mr. Black, etc.

You girls are crazy!

Weddings are great times with special friends.

From looking at this photo you wouldn’t know that this room is crowded with tables for the reception!

Work it Tony!

Awww. Isn’t that sweet.

Is it wind, magic, or my associate photographer?

Proud Parents

A wedding held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is a grand occasion!

It’s this finger right?

This is my favorite photo from their wedding day.

Yippee. We’re married. Let’s party!

One last photo at Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels before heading to Union Station.

Pretty!

These were pretty too.

And the girls had pretty toes. And flip flops.

Katy and Tony had a Mariachi band that serenaded them from Olvera Street to Union Station. It was a fun walk!

Tony’s father sang a few ballads with the Mariachi band. And with a little encouragement, Tony joined in the fun!

Anyone want to guess who caught it?

Ok boys! Time for some garter tossing!
